Who Can Beat Obama In 2012?

@Aye: Hi aye, thanks for being cordial in your response. Firstly about Romneys religion: I PERSONALLY have no problem with him being Mormon, and though I’m no fan of Mormonism I was mostly expressing surprise that so many Christians don’t seem to mind. Most Christians I know don’t even consider Mormonism a form of Christianity. But to answer your question, I have no problem with him being Mormon, I have a problem with the fact that he is OBVIOUSLY bought and in the pocket of the wealthy. Again to bring up Ron Paul, look at where his contributions come from, and then look at where Romneys are coming from (Ron Paul received more money from our military men and women than ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES COMBINED!). That’s sayin something. About his comment that corporations are people, I certainly have a problem with that. Yes, I understand that legally, corporations count as people in certain contexts. But Laws change, and often because they don’t match reality. Remember when we had laws that said a black man was worth 3/5ths of a white man? it changed because it didn’t match reality.
@ anticsrocks: im dismissing your comment because I cannot argue or discuss an issue with someone who would honestly argue in favor of Sarah Palins credentials. if Sarah Palin could be president, I could be president. But i have the good sense to know not to run for an office that I know im not prepared for in any way and would probably hurt a lot of people due to my ineptitude.

@kyle: Okay, you are a Paulbot, I get where you are coming from now.

First of all, let me educate you. Your claim that she partook in Canada’s socialized medicine is flat out wrong, and a typical liberal moonbat talking point to boot.

From right here at FA:

CORRECTION: Whitehorse is in Yukon, not Saskatchewan, and Palin, as a young child, lived closer to it than earlier reported.

UPDATE: Here’s some more context: “My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not – this was in the ’60s – we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.”

ALSO: Socialized medicine apparently only kicked in in Yukon in 1972, post-Palin.

The irony here is that they PAID for their health care.

Wow….go figure.

And all the other moonbats have ignored this info choosing to keep their PDS on display without correction. – Source

Then you said:

If you’d care to back up your claim that “i dont know what im talking about” please find me one instance where she demonstrated some knowledge.

Okay.

Remember this?

Sarah Palin at Monday’s Tea Party rally in Reno, Nevada, told attendees, “Don’t be thinking that we’ve got victory for America in the bag yet…We can’t party like it’s 1773.”

Clearly not understanding that was the year of the famed Boston Tea Party, history challenged media members, including PBS’s Gwen Ifill and Daily Kos’s Markos Moulitsas, mocked Palin via their twitter accounts (screencaps follow with video of Palin’s remarks courtesy Right Scoop, h/t Perfunction):

Maybe even more humorous, the Huffington Post actually reprinted Moulitsas’s tweet as “News Broken on Twitter.”

Of course, all these geniuses needed to do was a simple Google search of “historical events of 1773.” The first response would have helped them identify that the Boston Tea Party happened on December 16th of that year.

I guess it’s easier for arrogant members of the Left to just ridicule rather than research. Certainly, that’s not at all surprising from the perpetually factually-challenged Moulitsas. – Source

Or maybe this:

Sarah Palin stepped out of Paul Revere’s home in Boston and appeared to get her history wrong. The Internet then exploded in ridicule and astonishment at the ditz from Alaska once again uttering nonsense.

It started when Palin told a questioner, according to the Daily Caller, that Revere had had “warned the British” and not the colonials. The firestorm was instantaneous and viral. From staid organs of the mainstream media like the Los Angeles Times to the snarky left side of the Internet such as the Daily Kos, almost everyone arose in high dudgeon.

Except, albeit somewhat clumsily expressed, Palin was correct.

Professor William A. Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection notes the memoirs of Revere himself, as pointed out by the Conservatives4Palin site. In it, Revere recounts an incident during the famous Midnight Ride in which he was accosted by a British military patrol and was interrogated about what his business was on the road. Revere indicated to his British captors that he had warned the countryside of the approach of British troops up the Lexington-Concord road, matching pretty much what Palin said. – Source

Or how about this time where she got it right:

Palin got this one right: More Jews going to Israel

In November 2009, Sarah Palin made news with a comment on Israel in an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters:

“I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand.”

The Central Bureau of Statistics said Thursday that aliyah to Israel had grown in 2010. According to CBS statistics, there were 14% more immigrants to Israel in 2010 than in 2009, for a total of 16,633 immigrants. Most of the immigrants came from Russia and the U.S., the CBS said. – Source

Then there is this one, where she was spot on about blood libel:

Sarah Palin got it right.

Falsely accusing someone of shedding blood is the definition of a blood libel – whether it’s the medieval Church accusing Jews of baking blood in Passover matzos, or contemporary Muslim extremists accusing Israel of slaughtering Arabs to harvest their organs – or our political partisans blaming conservative political figures and talk show hosts for the Tucson massacre. – Source

Death panels? She took a lot of heat for that comment, but once again, she got it right…

The new health care law creates more life-threatening delays for seniors under President Obama​’s Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). This 15-member panel of presidential appointees will make new cuts to meet annual spending targets. IPAB will have unprecedented control over patients’ personal medical decisions, but limited medical expertise. The law limits membership of doctors with real experience caring for patients, instead selecting numbers-crunchers focused only on costs. – Source

So there ya go, kyle. Any other requests?

Somehow I just knew that kyle wouldn’t have the cajones to come back after my posts, #155 and 156…

@kyle: You said:

ps maybe i missed it but i asked you to give an example of her knowledge of the constitution

Um, nope. You can’t even quote yourself correctly…

If you’d care to back up your claim that “i dont know what im talking about” please find me one instance where she demonstrated some knowledge.

As for Iran, you claim:

if we had a foreign army in our country or our borders we’d be getting pissed too, what goes around comes around.

Gee, maybe I missed it, but what military presence do we have inside Iran’s borders?

I would almost imagine seeing the word “kyle” when looking up “mindless drone” in the dictionary. You go ahead and lick at the boots of Ron Paul. He is spot on when it comes to fiscal policy, but he would make a disastrous, inept, dangerous president RE foreign policy.

Yeah, Iran is only mad at us because we are inside the middle east… What a naive, ignorant stance to take on this issue.

Here, let me educate you a bit, although I doubt you will take the time to read it.

After fighting a series of successful defensive battles against the advancing Islamic jihadists outside Rome in 1090, the Roman Catholics and Western European potentates agreed to help the Byzantines defend themselves against Islam. As a result, they launched the first crusade in 1095.
This “Christian” response, while it is not labeled as such, is the only portion of this rather important drama academia seems to care about. And I suppose that is because it allows the “enlightened” to bash Christianity. Yet to focus on the Crusades while ignoring the intervening thirteen centuries of Islamic aggression, occupation, and plunder is like watching a documentary on the KKK in 1920 and then thinking you understand America.
Most Westerners do not know that a century before the Crusades were initiated, Rome, the religious capital of Europe, had been besieged by Islam. They do not equate the four-hundred-fifty-year siege of Constantinople, the political capital of Christendom, with the Catholic response. Nor are most aware that Christians had been ruthlessly persecuted in the Holy Land and their churches had been burned by the Muslims who occupied the region. Further, the Crusaders were about the business of returning Jerusalem to the Byzantines who had the Holy Land stolen from them by Muslim mujahideen. – Source

But tell you what, you go ahead and listen to your prophet, Ronnie and let him convince you it is because the mean old United States has soldiers in Saudi Arabia.

lol, I would suggest a college course on critical thinking, kyle.
